Santa and his elves have been hard at work all year, and now he's with his reindeer to bring gifts to children around the globe.
But if you're particularly eager to find out if he's heading down your street, you're in luck. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will be tracking Santa's location all day and night.
The tradition started in 1955 after an advertisement for Sears Roebuck & Co. misprinted a telephone number for a special "Santa hotline." Instead of reaching Kris Kringle, the number put kids through to the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Commander-in-Chief’s operations, according to a description on the NORAD Tracks Santa Facebook page, which has more than one million "likes."

Of course the season is about a lot more than Santa and gift giving. It's about family. So, Patch hopes you will enjoy the day with family and friends.
Happy Holidays!
